  • Chapter 11 Auxiliarist Recognition/Awards
    COMDTINST M16790.1G Chapter 11 Auxiliarist Recognition/Awards Introduction Auxiliarists, as volunteers, receive no direct compensation for the many hours of time and effort they donate to the Coast Guard. The recognition of an Auxiliarist’s service, through the presentation of timely and appropriate awards, is essential to the success of the Auxiliary program. Recognition of Auxiliarists by Coast Guard unit COs, XOs, and all other Coast Guard leaders is very important. In many respects, the recognition they receive through these awards can be considered to be their nominal payment. The service and actions of the Auxiliarists should receive the appropriate recognition and awards to the maximum extent possible. Medals and awards will be worn as prescribed in the Coast Guard Medals and Awards Manual, COMDTINST M1650.25 (series), except as noted in this chapter. Associated recommendations for Auxiliary personal awards (Auxiliary Distinguished Service Medal, Auxiliary Legion of Merit, Auxiliary Plaque of Merit, Auxiliary Meritorious Service Medal, Auxiliary Medal of Operational Merit, Auxiliary Commendation Medal, Auxiliary Achievement Medal, and Auxiliary Commandant Letter of Commendation) shall be drafted in accordance with guidelines established in the Awards section of the Chief Director’s web site (www.uscg.mil/auxiliary). As with any aspect of Auxiliary service records, it is the incumbent responsibility of each Auxiliarist to ensure that timely, complete, and accurate changes are made to them. Next to training and qualification entries, this consideration is most important with respect to award and recognition entries. Auxiliarists are therefore highly encouraged to provide the Director with a copy of any award (i.e., certificate and/or citation) as soon as practicable after their receipt of such.
